PinkFlamingo, you're not exactly alone...you got us!

Your picking is much more severe than mine....I'm sorry. For me, if I get stressed out and get a blemish on my face, I pick at it. Constantly. To the point it gets worse and won't heal. I've been trying to keep a moisturizing cream on it constantly so I leave it alone. I also chew on the inside of my lip. To the point it is red and raw and will swell up. So I ALWAYS have gum in my pocket...and I try to chew on that to keep from chewing on my lip. When I was younger I used to chew on it so bad it would actually disfigure that side of my mouth because it was so swollen! I also used to scratch myself when I was younger. Just pick a spot and keep scratching it, until I ended up with a mark...then a scab, then another place I could pick. Luckily I left that in my teenage years. I guess this all has been a life long battle....it sucks.
